IFK and MFF had a &quot;project&quot; together last year where IFK could lend players from MFF. The goal was to get IFK to Superettan but the project was cancelled after about 6 months since it did&#39;nt work. Some say that it didn&#39;t work because there still are older supporters in the clubs boards that doesn&#39;t like IFK/MFF. <br />The supporters that supported MFF from the 30&#39;s to the mid 60&#39;s still doesn&#39;t like IFK Malmö and IFK Norrköping. If you started to support MFF in the 70&#39;s and 80&#39;s you dont like IFK Göteborg and if you started to support MFF in the mid-90&#39;s you don&#39;t like HIF. <br /><br />It&#39;s now full chaos in IFK Malmö. Arsim Arifi started to fight with the captain, Mustafa Arezoo, on the field, in the game against FC Malmö!<br /> And that has now lead to that the coach and ass. coach leaves the team. Funny thing is that the new coach is Kenneth Folkesson wich is in charge of materials in MFF.<br /><br />http://www.sydsvenskan.se/sport/fotboll/article924338/Spelarna-slogs-inbordes.htmlDavidnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3338911017388638492.post-66372753442607480922010-06-03T23:26:56.314+01:002010-06-03T23:26:56.314+01:00@David - That match has been on my radar for somet...@David - That match has been on my radar for sometime. I know you won&#39;t like it but the last time I was over in Sweden I went to see HIF:<br /><br />http://europeanfootballweekends.blogspot.com/2010/03/helsingborgs-if.html<br /><br />The fans there also said the game to come back and see was the game against Malmo FF. Don&#39;t forget I don&#39;t support any team in Sweden (my team is actually Lewes FC in the Conference South, no harm to anyone ;-D ).<br /><br />I can see that a link to this article was posted on a Malmo FF forum. My translator isn&#39;t very good, are the fans there now discussing if IFK can still be considered rivals? Can you enlighten me please?<br /><br />@PGN - That is a fantastic story!Danny Lasthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15553871140609359862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3338911017388638492.post-89932691591467332852010-06-03T20:21:18.784+01:002010-06-03T20:21:18.784+01:00There was an intersting story on the local TV-news...There was an intersting story on the local TV-news tonight. Apparently the Argentinian FA want a IFK Malmö shirt they used in 1958for their new football museum. Lars Holmberg was on the news and if they can find a shirt they will get a signed Argentina shirt in return. Every player including Maradona will sign the shirt and I guess IFK Malmö can make some decent money from that shirt if they want to.PGNnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3338911017388638492.post-90586983855610529162010-06-03T16:18:50.903+01:002010-06-03T16:18:50.903+01:00You should come and see the game between Malmö FF ...You should come and see the game between Malmö FF and Helsingborg in September. That game is probably going to decide where the gold goes. HIF is currently leading the table and MFF is trailing by 5 points.<br /><br />B.T.W.

Secondly, well done for not biting to the headline. Like most of this site, it&#39;s a little ironic and not to be taken too seriously. Lastly, nice to have another perspective on the downward spiral that is IFK. I don&#39;t pretend to be an expert on their slide down the leagues so good to have another opinion.<br /><br />I take it Malmo FF concentrate on their rivalry with Helsinborgs these days? That is a game I hope to attend in the near future.Danny Lasthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15553871140609359862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3338911017388638492.post-11444421763770765432010-06-03T14:11:19.654+01:002010-06-03T14:11:19.654+01:00A nice interesting article, I love reading about S...A nice interesting article, I love reading about Swedish football and my own city from different perspectives.<br /><br />Obviously the people from IFK didn&#39;t tell you the whole story though. IFK Malmö have historically been the snobbish, arrogant upper-class team of Malmö and it is this attitude that has put them where they are now, surpassed by FC Malmö, FC Rosengård and Limhamn/Bunkeflo, all Malmö teams playing in higher divisions. <br /><br />I love Malmö Stadion, a place where you can almost feel the strokes of history, many great games have been played there, including some legendary games of the Malmö FF &#39;79 EC adventure. Unfortunately it&#39;s probably going to be demolished soon.<br /><br />Once again, great article.Torbjörnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16137605349075871439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3338911017388638492.post-89396137363850471832010-06-02T11:20:44.915+01:002010-06-02T11:20:44.915+01:00I had a word with the Chairman about returning to ...I had a word with the Chairman about returning to IP. He wants to go back - as do the fan(s) - but as usual it&#39;s a matter of finance. I think they play at the current Malmo Stadion for free whereas they&#39;d have to pay to go back and play at IP. The club clearly don&#39;t have any money and that is unlikely to change in the foreseeable future with crowds of around 100.<br /><br />The City is big enough to support two teams surely?<br /><br />Maybe if they sold beer inside the crowds would return ;-)Danny Lasthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15553871140609359862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3338911017388638492.post-67880645869060012922010-06-01T23:01:51.957+01:002010-06-01T23:01:51.957+01:00I feel bad for this club, and as you say it become...I feel bad for this club, and as you say it becomes completely surreal playing where Lars Elstrup scored the winner that gave us Danes the first of the two wins that sealed the Euro Trophy! <br /><br />Glad you had a stop at Malmö IP. I kind a like that stadium. Saw Brommapojkarna against Limhamn/Bunkeflo two seasons ago, when they still served green grass with pot holes. I remember the match programme rallied for the hometeam to play their matches at their real home ground, but eventually relegation brought them back to Limhamns IP. But did you get any suggestions on why they are playing in Malmö Stadion and not the IP, apart from the plastic pitch?<br /><br />Great you had some sun. Somehow the sun seems to shine more on that side. I guess Zlatan is pulling strings.Anders Hviidhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03801944512274498388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3338911017388638492.post-53006874191844129392010-06-01T23:00:11.125+01:002010-06-01T23:00:11.125+01:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anders Hviidhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03801944512274498388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3338911017388638492.post-6600181669084594382010-05-31T19:26:18.392+01:002010-05-31T19:26:18.392+01:00If you&#39;ve built up a thirst for some Swedish f...If you&#39;ve built up a thirst for some Swedish football then you could do worse than head to this new website:<br /><br />http://footballinsweden.co.uk/<br /><br />Some great info there from the makers of The Ball is Round Blog (www.theballisround.co.uk)Danny Lasthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15553871140609359862noreply@blogger.com
